When you execute the URL
index.php?filename=file.xml
(note - no quotes)
your PHP script will have this value readily accessible as $filename (if
register_globals is on, as outlined in many threads the last days).
With the latest PHP versions, register_globals defaults to off, so you
don't have "$filename" but rather $_GET['filename'] available.
If your PHP host has register_globals off, but you need parameters as
globals, you can put this little script at the beginning of your PHP file:
foreach ($_REQUEST as $varname => $value) {
$var = '$'.$varname;
global $$var;
$$var = $value;
}
You will then be able to access parameters as if register_globals would be on.
